  2. as the title says. When I removed my front bumper cover my beam was SHOT
  3. I did this to a intact pain chipping badly surface rust forming WRX. I like playing in the dirt gravel and beating the crap out of the WRX. this allows such and It forces me to keep the car
  4. #2 shows partial 3 coat. We rain out of spray
  5. Updates. I'm Aiming to have it done next weekend "Crosses Fingers" It depends on how quickly I can obtain paint and parts for the tranny. I will not be posting final pics until after I can cruise out in it;) But I'm going to post pics all along. Also Incase anyone else things they got Balls of Brass I'm making a how to video "My wife mostly but I stole the cam today" to place on youtube incase your insane enough to want to try. 2 coats. Allot has been learned about spraying. We know how to fix mistakes. We also learned how to not make certin mistakes. We plan on 4-5 coats in the end and from our testing 3 coats is where the Ts stripping begins to become unnoticable. http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/fenderdrying.JPG Still drying http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/fender2.JPG Shot of the fender 2 coats http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/fender.JPG Fender shot #2. We should have some more updated pics from TY later today. There are flaws and I will not hide them . I will explain how we've found to fix and prevent them. I'm making a video as we go along with tips and our mistakes and how we fixed them. It needs more coats but this can give you guys a sneak peak.
  6. No its not the rubbery type. Its a solid textured substance .

  9. I've used airsoft to chase off animals.
  10. I think its staying. I posted this on a few forums and the general thought is to keep the spoiler. It duplicolor not rhino liner. Rhinoliner did not sponsor my project ... but duplicolor did. They are sending me half of the paint.
  11. Update I'll post more pics later today I need to relax for a bit. Norm is the fucking man btw. The question should I go with out a spoiler?
  12. It takes 25 cans according to the guy who did his sti. Each can is 16oz so it should only had 20-30lbs.
  13. http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/rustblows.JPG Its getting replaced.
  14. Yup thats the plan. Fuck it I'm going to try it. I did find something bad when i pulled the bumper. My bumper was RUSTED ALL THE WAY OUT... I'll post pics tomorrow.
  15. http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/Littleguy.JPG Norm (LittleGuy) opening the trunk after we disconnected the remote release.....
  16. My car will have a fixed tranny AND flat black http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/thorne.JPG
  17. I'm pretty sure I've lost my mind on this one but what the hell. If it totally blows in the end I'll redo it So a teaser. If your on COS you already know the full project if not I'll be posting more shots as I go along.. http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/lostmymind.JPG I'm sure there will be plenty of haters but I'm going to try it. This also means I'm keeping the WRX and no Camaro for me . BTW the tranny is out and being rebuilt.
  18. People still use demo hahaha. They were busted before.
  19. I come to CR to meet interesting people. I've met people through CR i would have never met other wise. I find it a valueable source of information and entertainment. As a sponsor of CR I've made great contacts and helped get me business started.
  20. ^ That is a good idea But its not going to happen because eatherway more jobs are lost
  21. I'm looking for a powered bass tube. If it was a nice one I would be willing to trade my 3 MTX Blue Thunder 10's (Still hit nice) and a 600watt mon block
  22. http://i42.tinypic.com/2qmeuj9.jpg this has to be fake
  23. Yeah when I seen it I had to question myself If someone had a pic of when I had my back surgery. =) But I've lost weight since then..... Tehehe ok on topic. I've been on CR a long time. I think CR in some ways made me a better person. When I got banned from CR I questioned my actions allot and how I interact with situions. I had to learn that showing off to people who have WAY more into there toys then I did or do have no was pointless and did nothing postive to myself or others. I changed the way I acted and got back on CR. That being said. I trash IPS at one point because it was the cool thing to do "Not really but ehh". After talking with IPS I decided it was only fair I gave them a shot I took my monte down there and after they were done it shifted way smoother and I was happy with there work Over the past few years I've spent my fair share of cash at IPS and like there work. BUT That does not mean other shops in columbus suck. I've used other shops for things to even thought IPS is my shop of choice and never had a issue. I've had ROB drove his ass across town because my dumb ass did not know how to tell if a fuse was blown. He fixed it bullshited with me aminute and took care of me I've dynoed at Dynotune on my bike and my monte carlo. Brian has been nothing but nice to me and in reality he has all the reasons to treat me like shit. (*IF you don't know why your not OG*) We have allot of shops on here and when the shops all build cool projects it brings ego to the table. And something I've seen in my time in cars tis that EGO drives allot of the drama. When I meet someone and they trash CR I am quick to correct them that were not a bunch of street racing kids. At one point in time that is what we are but I watched us grow from a bunch of guys racing on 40 to adults who do car shows to benfit people and in general are a car club CR has came a long way and I for one would like to see it keep going. I mean when we had a friend die we tried to honor them the best way we could. We've came together on many occasion as one unit when the shit has hit the fan. I like that about us. The same poeple who can call each other dumb fucks on line can joing together for a common good. thats my piece. Carry on
